HUUM HIVE and HIVE Mini Sauna Heater
The HIVE is HUUM's floor mounted heater, a stainless steel frame carrying a large open stack of stones. HIVE suits big rooms, studios, and clubs; HIVE Mini is a slimmer version of the same idea for home saunas.
Member pricing is quoted directly with a specialist, and specifications and availability are confirmed on the same call.

About this buildout.
The design puts the stones front and center. The steel frame holds far more stone than a typical wall heater, and the open stack radiates heat from the whole mass rather than a single hot face.
A big stone mass holds its temperature. The room recovers quickly after the door opens, and water ladled onto the stones returns long, generous steam. Members who run frequent or shared sessions feel the difference most.
Every HIVE runs on the HUUM UKU control, offered in local and Wi-Fi versions with glass and mirror faces, and stones are specified alongside the heater. We put the full buildout together, match the model to your room during the consultation, and handle delivery, assembly, and electrical coordination.
A specialist confirms the configuration and the site details with you, and pricing is quoted in that conversation.

“David, the owner, worked with us to get a high quality sauna. David is very responsive, knowledgeable, honest and responsive. He will have your sauna delivered to your home. He will then assemble the sauna and remove all the packaging. I highly recommend purchasing a sauna from Sauna Friend.”
Dennis DonovanFort Collins, CORead it on Google (opens in a new tab) “Sauna Friends were exceptional! They fixed my sauna door, added flashing, and reinstalled my sauna roof. I looked for sauna-specific professionals to do these repairs so I could be confident they'd know what they're doing, and they did.”
Jessmine AndersonColoradoRead it on Google (opens in a new tab) “Worthy of 10 stars! Went above and beyond to ensure we had full understanding in everything: the sauna we purchased, the ordering, delivery, and setup. Absolutely love our sauna and worth every penny. David was incredibly knowledgeable and went out of his way to over-deliver. Highly recommend working with David!”
